Feature Overview

The Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) feature allows you to use a Cache Engine to handle web traffic, reducing transmission costs and downloading time. This traffic includes user requests to view pages and graphics on World Wide Web servers, whether internal or external to your network, and the replies to those requests. When a user requests a page from a web server (located in the Internet), the router sends the request to a Cache Engine. If the Cache Engine has a copy of the requested page in storage, the Cache Engine sends the user that page. Otherwise, the Cache Engine retrieves the requested page and the objects on that page from the web server, stores a copy of the page and its objects, and forwards the page and objects to the user.

WCCP transparently redirects Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests going to the intended server to a Cache Engine. End users do not know that the page came from the Cache Engine rather than the originally requested web server.

WCCP Version 2 now contains the following new features:

•Multiple router support

•Improved security

•Faster throughput

•Redirection of multiple TCP port-destined traffic

•Load distributing applications capability

•Client IP addressing transparency

Multirouter Support

WCCP Version 2 enables a series of Cache Engines, called a Cache Engine cluster, to connect to multiple routers. This feature provides redundancy and a more distributed architecture for instances when a Cache Engine needs to connect to a large number of interfaces. This strategy also has the benefit of keeping all the Cache Engines in a single cluster, avoiding unnecessary duplication of web pages across several clusters.

How Version 1 Works

With WCCP Version 1, only a single router services a cluster, becoming the default home router for the cluster. In this scenario, this router is the device that performs all the IP packet redirection. Figure C-1 illustrates how this configuration appears.

The following sequence of events details how this process works:

1. Each Cache Engine records the IP address of the router servicing the cluster.

2. The Cache Engines then transmit their IP addresses to the router, indicating their presence to one another in the cluster.

3. The router then replies to the Cache Engines, establishing that each can connect to the other in the cluster, providing a view or a list of Cache Engine addresses in the cluster, indicating that each can recognize each other.

4. Once the view has been established, one Cache Engine is designated as the lead and indicates to the router how IP packet redirection should be performed. The lead Cache Engine is defined as one seen by all the routers in the service group and that has the lowest IP address.

Figure C-1 Cache Engine Network Configuration Using WCCP Version 1

How Version 2 Works

With WCCP Version 2, multiple routers can service a cluster, allowing available routers to obtain status as the device that redirects packets for data coming from each of the Cache Engines in the cluster. Figure C-2 illustrates how this configuration appears. You can configure the router to run one of two services:

•Web cache which is a global service that sends content to a large collection of destination World Wide Web servers.

•Reverse proxy which is a local service that sends content to a small number of destination World Wide Web servers.

The subset of Cache Engines within a cluster and routers connected to the cluster that are running the same service is known as a service group.

WCCP Version 2 addresses the issue of multiple routers being available to the cluster by allowing either a list of routers or an IP multicast address to be created on the Cache Engine. The difference in these two strategies is as follows:

•In the multiple router strategy, the Cache Engine sends a notification of its presence to an explicit router address.

•In the multicast address strategy, the Cache Engine sends a notification to one address, which provides coverage for all routers in the service group, for example, 224.0.0.0, which will indicate packets be sent to a multicast address of 224.0.0.0, which would send a multicast packet to all routers in the service group.

If you are adding and removing routers dynamically, the multicast address strategy provides for easier configuration because you do not need to change the configuration for each device in the WCCP network.

The following sequence of events details how this process works:

1. Instead of having one central "home router," each Cache Engine defines a list of routers and stores the list in its memory.

2. Each Cache Engine announces its presence and view of the service group to the list of router IP addresses with which they have been configured. The routers reply with their view which is a list of Cache Engine addresses in the group.

3. Once the view is consistent across all Cache Engines in the cluster, one Cache Engine is designated as the lead and sets the policy that the routers need to deploy in redirecting packets.

Also, you need to configure the router(s) that will become members of the service group:

•Configure an IP multicast address for use by the cluster.

•Enable the ip wccp command.

For network configurations where the Cache Engine sends to a target router a packet that needs to traverse an intervening router, the router being traversed must be configured to perform IP multicast routing. You must configure two components to enable traversal over an intervening router:

•Enable IP multicast routing using the ip multicast routing command.

•Enable the interfaces to which the Cache Engines will connect to receive multicast transmissions using the ip pim command.

Figure C-2 Cache Engine Network Configuration Using WCCP Version 2

How Routers and Cache Engines Communicate

Routers and Cache Engines become aware of each other and form a service group using a management protocol. Once the service group has been established, one of the Cache Engines is designated to determine load assignments among the Cache Engines.

If there is a group of Cache Engines, the one seen by all routers and that has the lowest IP address becomes the lead Cache Engine. The role of this Cache Engine is to determine how traffic should be split across Cache Engines. The assignment information is passed to the entire service group from the designated Cache Engine so that the routers of the group can redirect the packets properly and the Cache Engines of the group can manage their load better.

Improved Security

Security between a Cache Engine and a router is now stronger because the Cache Engine's location in a cluster is more strongly circumscribed. WCCP Version 2 provides authentication that enables you to control which routers and Cache Engines become part of the service group using passwords and the HMAC MD5 standard set by the ip wccp [password [0-7] password] command.

Faster Throughput

Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) has been integrated into WCCP Version 2 and provides fast packet redirection.

Redirection for Multiple TCP Port Destined Traffic

WCCP Version 2 enables more TCP ports to have traffic redirected to the Cache Engine. Previously, web-cached information could be redirected only if it was destined for TCP port 80. Many applications require packets intended for other ports to be redirected, for example, proxy-web cache handling, FTP caching, FTP proxy handling, web caching for ports other than 80, and Real Audio, video, and telephony applications.

Packets that the Cache Engines do not service are tunneled back to the same router from where they were received. Once a router has received a formerly redirected packet, it knows not to redirect it again.

The criteria set for determining whether to redirect the traffic is as follows:

•IP protocol

•Ports

•Priority

•Distribution scheme

•Default handling

Note that service information has been added to the protocol to indicate which service the WCCP messages refer to. This information is used to help validate that service group members are all using or providing the same service.

Web Cache Packet Return

WCCP Version 2 filters packets to determine which redirected packets have been returned from the Cache Engine and which ones have not. It does not redirect the ones that have been returned because the Cache Engine has determined that the packets should not be cached. WCCP Version 2 returns packets that the Cache Engine does not service to the same router from which they were transmitted. Typical reasons why a Cache Engine would reject packets and initiate packet return are:

•Instances when the Cache Engine is overloaded and has no room to service the packets.

•Instances when the Cache Engine is filtering certain conditions that make caching packets counterproductive, for example, when IP authentication has been turned on.

Load Distributing Applications

WCCP Version 2 has the capability to adjust the load being offered to individual Cache Engines to provide more effective use of the resources available and at the same time help to ensure high quality of service to the clients. It uses three techniques to perform this task:

•Hot Spot Handling allows an individual hash bucket, or a pool of IP addresses to which routers are mapped, to be distributed across all the Cache Engines.

•Load Balancing allows the set of hash buckets assigned to a Cache Engine to be adjusted so that the load can be shifted from an overwhelmed Cache Engine to other members that have available capacity.

•Load Shedding enables the router to selectively redirect the load to avoid exceeding the capacity of the Cache Engines.

Client IP Address Transparency

The Cache Engine accepts traffic and establishes the connection with the client, acting as if it were the original destination server. Once the connection is established, if the object being requested is not available on the Cache Engine, the engine then establishes its own connection out to the original destination server.

Benefits

Redundancy

Access to multiple routers provides backup support for a failed connection between a Cache Engine and the router. Multiple routers can access a Cache Engine server cluster.

Improved Security

Security between a Cache Engine and a router is now stronger as the Cache Engine's place in a cluster is more strongly circumscribed. Also authentication is now available using the HMAC MD5 security feature.

Faster Redirection

CEF provides fast redirection by using more efficient levels of switching, specifically, the process switch.

Increased Control over Traffic Selected for Redirection

The ability to redirect traffic destined to multiple TCP ports provides more flexibility for more applications, for example, proxy-web cache handling, FTP caching, FTP proxy handling, and Real Audio, video, and telephony applications, all targeted to various TCP ports. Previously, only applications with traffic destined to TCP port 80 could have traffic redirected.

Client IP Address Transparency

The Cache Engine accepts traffic and establishes the connection with the client acting as if it were the original destination server. Once the connection is established, if the object being requested is not available on the Cache Engine, the engine then establishes its own connection out to the original destination server.

Restrictions

The following limitations apply to WCCP Version 2:

•The Time To Live (TTL) value of routers servicing a cluster must be 15 seconds or less.

•The protocol needs to include the list of routers in the service group as part of its messages to properly depict the view.

•Because the messages may now be IP multicasted, members may receive messages that will not be relevant or are duplicates. Appropriate filtering needs to be performed.

•Service groups can comprise up to 32 Cache Engines and 32 routers.

•All Cache Engines in a cluster must include all routers servicing the cluster in its configuration. If a cache within a cluster does not include one or more of the routers in its configuration, the service group will detect the inconsistency and the Cache Engine will not be allowed to operate within the service group.

•Multicast addresses must be between 224.0.0.0 and 239.255.255.255.

•WCCP works only with IP networks.

• Running a Web Cache Service

• Running a Reverse Proxy Service

• Registering a Router to a Multicast Address

• Informing a Router of Valid IP Addresses

• Setting a Password for a Router and Cache Engines

• Disabling Caching for Certain Clients

Performing a General WCCP Version 2 Configuration

The following example shows a general WCCP Version 2 configuration session:
ip wccp web-cache group-address 224.1.1.100 password alabama1interface ethernet0ip wccp web-cache redirect out
Running a Web Cache Service

The following example shows a web cache service configuration session:

The following example shows a WCCP Version 2 password configuration session where the password is alabama2:
configure terminalip wccp web-cache password alabama2
Disabling Caching for Certain Clients

To disable caching for certain clients, servers, or client/server pairs, you can use WCCP access lists. The following example shows any requests coming from 10.1.1.1 or going to 12.1.1.1 will bypass the cache. while all other requests will be serviced normally:
configure terminalip wccp web-cache redirect-list 120access-list 120 deny tcp host 10.1.1.1access-list 120 deny tcp any host 12.1.1.1access-list 120 permit ip any any

This command was enhanced.

12.0(3)T

This command was enhanced to include status of ip wccp redirect out and ip wccp redirect exclude add in commands.

Usage Guidelines

The Cisco IOS software automatically enters a directly connected route in the routing table if the interface is usable. A usable interface is one through which the software can send and receive packets. If the software determines that an interface is not usable, it removes the directly connected routing entry from the routing table. Removing the entry allows the software to use dynamic routing protocols to determine backup routes to the network (if any).

If the interface can provide two-way communication, the line protocol is indicated to be running. If the interface hardware is usable, the interface is indicated to be running.

If you specify an optional interface type, you will see only information on that specific interface.

If you specify no optional arguments, you will see information on all the interfaces.

When an asynchronous interface is encapsulated with Point-to-Point Protocl (PPP) or Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP), IP fast switching is enabled. A show ip interface command on an asynchronous interface encapsulated with PPP or SLIP displays a message indicating that IP fast switching is enabled.

Example

The following example displays output from the show ip interface command, using the interface e3/0:
show ip interface e3/0
